Channel Screensaver On Windows 8.

The Active Channel Screensaver that was in Windows 95 was in every version of Windows right up to Windows ME. Then Microsoft dropped it from Windows XP and later editions.

But you can get it back by copying the screensaver from Windows 95 or Windows 2000 onto Windows 8. 

Channel screensaver works in every later version of Windows I have tried it on but not Windows 7. I don't know why that is. But it is working on Windows 8 and also Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Windows XP Photo Viewer On Windows 8.

Miss the old Windows Picture Viewer from Windows XP? Here is a way to get it back on Windows and and this also works on Windows 7.

Get Back Outlook Express On Windows 7 And 8.

If you have used Windows XP before moving to Windows 7 you will remember Outlook Express. That's the email client that was bundled with Windows XP and also the versions of Windows that came before XP.

But was dropped in Windows Vista and replaced with Windows Mail.

Through it is possible to get Windows Mail working again on both Windows 7 and 8 this was not the case with Outlook Express. At least I had thought not.

Until now that is. When I came across this post on a website which the author of the website Wicky Hue explained that Outlook Express can run on Windows 7 and 8.

with the help of a program called Detours, which lets you edit the dll files so that they are compatible with Windows 7.

Andrea Computer Forums Archived-Read Only.

Last year I told readers that I deleted my old forum, Andrea Computer Forums, because it didn't work out. The idea of starting my own forum was good, but I made the mistake of using Forumotion, a free forum service. The main reason I shut down my forum was because of the Online Guardian plug in. Which is a spam filter that Forumotion use, which was blocking out most of my members. So they could not log in and post.  

Why I Closed Down My Forum-Video.

Here in this video I explain more about why I closed down my forum.

Banned From More Forums-Video.

Here is another one of my videos in which I talk about my recent ban from In A Flap forums. The story is very funny.

New Name,New Web URL For This Site.

I have made a few changes to this site. First of all I have changed the name this blog and it is now called Andrea Sites.

This site also has a new URL which is http://www.andreaborman2.blogspot.com 
The reason I decided to change the name of my website is because most of my posts are about computers and Windows software. So I thought my blog should have a different title also I have changed my URL because I wanted some thing more to fit the name of my site.

Also I hardly ever make a post about other media topics now. As since I got my first home computer 3 years ago,I have spent more time learning about Windows 7,Windows XP and how to use a computer. I also spend most of my time on computer forums as my hobby is computers and the Internet.Which is mostly what this site is about.

I used to have my own forum which was also about computers but I made the mistake of hosting it on a free forum service Forumotion. Which I was not happy with because of the restrictions with free forum services. As they can delete or ban your forum anytime. I also had problems with Forumotions spam filter which was blocking out several of my members. Which was the main reason I deleted my forum. So next time if I ever start a forum again I will host it myself though a paid web host. Though at the moment I just enjoy posting on forums as a member rather the have the responsibilities of admin. So I am not sure if I will start another forum as yet. Anyway this is just a site update to let readers know of my new web address.
